Auxiliary Air Valve

  2. If valve does not operate properly, check for power at connector with engine running. Connect a test lamp across connector terminals. If lamp does not light, check fuse and wiring.
  3. If lamp lights, check resistance of auxiliary air valve. If no resistance is measured, valve is defective. Ensure electrical connections are tight and terminals are clean, prior to measuring resistance.
